Ok please read below my story that worked, after me and my barrister found loophole on UK cable media company ? You know who ,please note you do not need to give a months notice as you pay a month in advance to cable media company ?.,well here it all is,my story and proof I sent to mse news desk ,for legal reasons on here no capital letters or name company but they do cable bb phone TV .this is my story and will not affect mse or readers.

I will save £480 a year from may 2019 also I received on 27th of april five page contract I will now pay £27 pounds a month ,contract 1 year plus a £50 credit.yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

This massive cable company have been holding people to ransom because they are cable and might take up to 5 weeks plus to transfer telephone number, plus the house must have a landline socket for new ISP and you will loose your email address after 90 days. I paid £62 a month for TV and 50mb broadband no TV box I got free upgrade to 100mb then 200mb free ,but my bill was upgraded 3 times to, very sneaky give you something free then double your bill ? I was sick of share holders.so last night I went to cable companys special offer £27 a month for telephone and broadband ,for new customers only, wrong I said, with that I said I'm not under contract and I don't have to pay exit fee or give 30 days notice. Please note a contract only lasts a year when you join,I signed in to my account seen no contract. Beware people they try to say "oh you got new modem so that renews contract "rubbish".

So I filled in the form bank details etc first through MSE as a "new customer" it all went through nice at the end it said our engineer will install the new modem hub 3 on may 3rd 2019.then I phoned cable companys media disconnect team and told them I'm leaving on the 2nd of may ,I was honest and told them what I have done the guy says but you cant your a existing customer , I said I have been with you 10 years I have no contract I don't have to give 30 days notice as I paid a month in advance and there is no rolling contract. Oh he said hang on to I speak to supervisor 10 mins later oh sorry you are right you can also keep your telephone number and email address but this may take 3 days to switch .after that I got 3 calls saying we can do that deal without you leaving and rejoining, I told them no the ball is rolling now, for years I have asked for minimum contract or deal they said no no no I told them I have a landline socket but I want to keep my email address so you are to late, Also please note if you don't get broadband or have a fault they must pay you for each day,or loss of any services in your area their fav reply , new government law they signed up to.

Now I "save" £500 a year plus £50 credit I have same phone number same email address and next year ill do it again.phone number takes 72 hours but you get a temporary one untill then.

Also please note if you have a TV package to you will save even more money just Google their new deals, don't be put off by new customers only.

4 million customers x £480 brilliant the people that are poor and old now can win win win god bless.so join first then tell them your leaving.
